Reykjavik: The Land of Fire and Ice: Northern lights flicker across the sky as you soak in the naturally warm hot springs water. Breathe in the crisp air and scan a sea of ice standing atop a glacier. There is nowhere like the land of ice and fire. We welcome you to Reykjavik, and to Iceland, and invite you to experience duality where rugged volcanic rock shares the skyline with sparkling glaciers.
Reykjavik: The Snafellsnes Peninsula: Made famous by Jules Verne's 'Journey to the center of the Earth', this peninsula is known for its spectacular landscapes. You'll visit small fishing towns and make various stops throughout the day. Experience some truly incredible scenery that serve as a precursor for what is to come on the rest of your adventure across Iceland.
Hella: Welcomed by Waterfalls: Head away from the city today as you venture into the Icelandic countryside where you'll get out for the first of many explorations on foot. You'll visit majestic waterfalls and even get the opportunity to walk behind one of them, feeling the power of the thundering water cascade from the heights.
Hella: Gj?in Valley Hike and the Secret Lagoon: Volcanic landscapes and waterfalls abound as you hike in the hidden gem of the Gj?in Valley. Witness the meeting of two rivers at Hj?lparfoss and soak in a geothermal pool with a spouting geyser. This is Iceland in all it's glory.
Hella: Hike to Sk?gafoss: Discover more of Iceland's stunning natural beauty as you hike to Sk?garfoss, arguably one of the most mesmerising waterfalls in the country. Featured in films from Thor to The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, you may be familiar with this landmark already. Take in all of the spectacular scenery and learn about the volcanic origins of Iceland's powerful natural formation at the place where two continental plates meet.
